Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft

Esthetic Evaluation of Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft (Ns-dFGG) Versus Conventional Free Gingival Graft (cFGG) for the Augmentation of The Keratinized Mucosa: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 30 (estimated)
• Sponsor: October University for Modern Sciences and Arts · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The goal of this (study type: RCT) is to learn if the use of the non-submerged de-epithelized FGG will result in better esthetic outcomes in adults. The main questions that it aims to answer are: * Does this procedure increase the width of keratinized tissue? * Does this procedure increase the depth of the vestibule? Researchers will compare this technique with the gold standard using the FGG to evaluate which technique provides better esthetics.

Conditions

• Deficient Keratinized Mucosa

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Non-Submerged De-Epithelialized Free Gingival Graft	The Free gingival graft will be de-epithelialized and fixed at the recipient site in a non-submerged manner to increase the keratinized mucosa
PROCEDURE	Conventional FGG	The Free gingival graft will be fixed at the recipient site to increase the keratinized mucosa
